Man with a parasol symbolizes local residents who spontaneously offer help: “At such a moment you just see if you can help”

Rescuers bend over a boy, a little further away stands a man in gray shorts and a blue T-shirt with a large parasol resting against his shoulder so that the shadow falls exactly on the victim. It is a special image from minutes after the crash with the school bus in Buggenhout on Tuesday. Now the man speaks, modestly. “I told the boy that his mommy was on her way. ‘You will see her’.”
